Sink repair in Nurston

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Sink repair in Nurston, done in place

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about a crack near the taps and a chipped basin edge.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Landlord and trade work in Nurston

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairing versus replacing in Nurston

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Nurston customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

  • Chips around the rim
  • Crazing in the glaze

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
